.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.B wmmenugen
generates a menu in the
.I PropList
format for Window Maker from the input file

will read all the files present in the hierarchy of this directory.

.IR stdout .
.TP
.B 1
when a
.I fspec
caused a problem (non readable file, ...)
.TP
.B 2
the arguments of the command line where not recognised
.TP
.B 3

you probably want to look at the section
.B BUGS
below.
.SH "BUGS"
If you get the exit status
.B 3
with the unclear error message about
.IR "unprocessed levels on the stack" ,
you encountered a limitation of
.BR wmmenugen .
It would be a good idea to prepare an archive with the files incriminated and submit them to the
mailing list (wmaker-dev@googlegroups.com) with you command line, so the team can work on
improving the behaviour of the program on this case.
